"LandSpeed" Louise / The MLM Industry Responds

On Thursday, Doug chats with “LandSpeed” Louise Noeth about the lure and thrill of land speed racing. Noeth is an authority on both the world’s fastest land vehicles and the track they set their records on, Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats. In the second half of the show, Doug is joined by Laura Beitler, Vice President of Compliance with Mary Kay Cosmetics and Joseph Mariano, President of the Direct Selling Association. We've invited them to respond to Tuesday's conversation on multi-level marketing companies.

“LandSpeed” Louise Noeth will give a lecture on land speed racing on the Bonneville Salt Flats on Sunday, August 19, at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts as part of the museum’s ongoing exhibit Speed: The Art of the Performance Automobile. The lecture begins at 1:00 p.m. in the UMFA’s Katherine W. and Ezekiel Dumke Jr. Auditorium in the Marcia and John Price Building on the University of Utah campus. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit the UMFA’s web site.
